OlL-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming parl'. Of Letters Patent No. 340,653, dated April 27, 1886.

Application filed August Q9, 1885.

To all whom, it 71mg concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN AENIs, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to oil-stoves; and it consists of the combination, with an oil-stove having wick-tubes, of a combustion-chamber located above the wiclctubes, which are inclosed in a casing the interior of which communicates with the said combustion-chamber by suitable openings, and the said combustion` chamber provided with a series of rods arranged in rows across the interior thereof, whereby the gases from the wicks and atmospheric air admitted therein commingle with and produce perfect colnbustion.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a vertical section of a stove-lamp having two wicktubes, and a combustion chamber having double rows of rods. Fig. 2 is a like vertical section of a single wick-tube with one double row of rods. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical Fig. 4 is a top or plan view of the donble-row lamp.

A is the body or fount of the stove, to the top of which is attached a neck, B, in which are contained the wicletubes and wick-wheel raising andloworing mechanism. To the said neck is attached a metal chamber, O, in which are placed perpendicular rows ofrods c. These rods are arranged horizontally a little space apart and in double rows, forming a double column, between which the flames from the wick rises. Perforations e are provided in the Serial No. 175 6:24.

top of the neck and at each side of the wick- (No model.)

top for the admission of air. The neck is also provided with openings bin itslower part for the admission of air. Over the top of the chimney is placed a plate, D, a short distance above the top opening in said combustionchambcr, which opening is contracted to the space between the rods, as seen in Fig. 2.

In Fig. l, where there are two wicks, the fount is provided with a central tube, a, for the admission of air up between the wicks, and near the top of the chamber is provided a triangular strip, f, between the two intermediate rows of rods, for the purpose of directing the currents of air to and betweenthe spa-ces in the rows above the wicks.

The working of this chimney is as follows: rllhe drafts of air passing into the bottom and up the chamber are broken and divided by the rods in such a manner that the gases and products of combustion are thoroughly comminglcd with the air-currents, thereby adding air to the gases so complete as to entirely consume all, and producing an intensely hot blue flame at the chimney-top.

Having described my invention, I claim- The combination, with oilstove A, pro vided with wickftnbe casing B, having openings b b and c, and wick-tubes within said casi-ng, of a combustionchamber, O, commu nicating with the casing B by the openings e e, and provided with the rods c c above and between the openings c and the wick-tube, as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

JOHN AENIS.
